“The 2022 Marsannay Les Longeroies was cropped at 35hL/ha as the vines are naturally low cropping due to the limestone soils. With around 50% whole bunches, this has an attractive nose with brambly black fruit, sous-bois and a touch of Japanese nori. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. The 10% new oak is very judicious, and there’s a harmonious and persistent finish. A superb Marsannay.” 91-93 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Aromas of plums, red berries and peony introduce the 2022 Marsannay Les Longeroies, with a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that’s textural and enveloping, with a succulent core of fruit and a nicely defined finish.” 89-90 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
The vineyard name, Les Longeroies, probably comes from the French verb longer, which means ‘to border’. This makes sense as Longeroies is on the boundary between Marsannay and the next village of Chenôve. It is one of the star climats of the commune and has been earmarked for promotion to 1er Cru (when they finally come through!). Longeroies faces south, and the two Mortet parcels sit mid-slope. One plot has 50-year-old vines; the other was planted with a Pinot Fin selection in 1992.
The aging consisted of 18 months in oak, only 10% new and the balance in one- and two-year-old barrels. This year, some 50% bunches were used, the highest ever for this cuvée. Although the prices are now rising, Marsannay remains one of the last great-value appellations of the Côte, and this is certainly one of its very best examples.

A bright crimson red. After a few good few swirls, aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, wild herbs and some crushed violets soon emerge. The palate, though, doesn’t need much coaxing, and this silken, sappy wine has excellent depth and persistence. Will be even better six to 12 months from now. 96 points – Philip […]

A feature of Farrside is its combination of sweet and savoury spice, flowers and flavoured tobacco. An extremely exotic and singular wine, 2022 sees its uniqueness in the extreme. Fenugreek, cumin, violets, lavender, Turkish tobacco, red fruit compote and blackberry. Prickling with acidity, edgier and more angular than recent vintages, the Farrside’s savoury side on […]
